Become a Wavemaker

Published on 23.10.20

Hello.

 

We’re Tiny Changes – a charity helping young minds feel better in Scotland. We’re creating a new group of like-minded ‘wavemakers’ that we think you might like to be part of. Read on to find out more.

 

1. Do you agree that mental health matters?

 

Yeah, us too. In fact we think it’s one of the most important issues EVER and not enough is being done to help young minds feel better.

 

 

2. Are you under 30 years old?

Our digital star Tomiwa is under 30 – she’s behind all the @tinychanges social media. We want to work with more young people… like you. Or can you pass this on to someone under 30?

 

 

3. Do you live in Scotland, or did you grow up here?

YEAH? Great place. 10/10. 😎

 

 

 

4. Are you fed up of young people’s voices not being heard, or sharing your ideas then not hearing if it made a difference?

Us too. We’re TOTALLY FED UP of decisions being made without young people in the room. We’re so over young people being asked for their opinions and stories but not knowing what happened next. We CBA with the excuse that bipoc/ disabled/ neurodiverse/ d|Deaf/ lgbtqia+/ other young people are ‘hard to find’.

 

 

5. And finally… do you have something to say?
(This is a trick question, there’s only one answer)

Hell yes you do. We all have something to say about the issues that affect us and mental health is no exception. If you answered yes to the first four questions, we’d love to hear from you. We’re ready to make waves with you.

Let's go.
